I realize this works with a foreign, say, Marill and your own Ditto, but would it work with a foreign ''Ditto'' and your own Marill? Basically, I'm asking if Ditto is an exception at all. [[User:Sadistic Blaziken|<font color="Purple">Sadistic Blaziken</font>]] 04:57, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

So yeah, foreign Ditto/your Marill would work. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|<span style="color:#e072a9;">ティナ</span>]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Tina|<span style="color:#728084;">♫</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|<span style="color:#728084;">★</span>]]</sup> 05:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:::This was apparently always false, Gen 4 didn't have that behavior at all.
